Starting now on ITV4. Who do you support? I'm backing the Ahmedabad Mega Bastards.

RCB are the team I drew out of the hat to support. Decent side too.

I'm off to Bangalore on the 23rd April, for a month - work.

So, support your local team, it's the Royal Challengers Bangalore for me.

Although not a great fan of 20/20, it should be interesting to get a couple of games in over there.

English (ahem) interest Eoin Morgan is now at the crease. Should be a good finish this.

I'm a Kings XI Punjab fan. Based on the fact I've visited the Punjab and, like the rest of India, the people there are absolutely mental .

One of the new teams, Pune Warriors, has Dermot Reeve as assistant coach. As a fan of Warwickshire and narcotics I'm supporting them.

I don't have any particular affinity with any of the sides so I've gone for a squad with several of my favorite players in. I now feel like an 8 year old in Surrey trying to choose between Manure, Chelski et al!

So I'm now a Mumbai Indian; Tendulkar, Dilhara Fernando, Habhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Kieron Pollard and the flawed genius that is Andrew Symonds.

Can't find Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney in any of the squads though?

They'll do for me then.

Pune says vaguely like it might be a rude Indian word for something as well.

Malinga 5 - 13 off 3.4 overs for Mumbai v Delhi Daredevils. He has to be one of the best one day bowlers around. His yorker is at times unplayable.

Great insights from Hick:

Host: Graeme, you saw last year's Kings XI Punjab v Chennai Super Kings match, which went to a super over. You covered it, sensational wasn't it?

Hick: Yes I covered it but didn't remember it until you just showed it.

He's only been on 15 mins and that's the second time that he's said that he didn't remember something that the host was trying to hype.

Chennai Super Kings 0 for 2, off the first 2 balls!

Support Rajahstan Royals - for no reason other than their colours were a bit like Warwickshire (who's colours have since changed).
